Pros
You 'may' get paid while you're there.
Cons
A franchise is only as good/professional as the person who bought the licence. Unfortunately if - like me - you are blinded by the brand, then you could get a nasty surprise when it comes to being paid at the end of the month. There are no protocols in place which monitor how each franchise holder treats his or her staff, or rules which stipulate professional conduct in the workplace. I ended up working for a con man who'd managed to buy a few licences and when he didn't end up paying me upon my leaving the company, I have discovered there is no one within the company to hold him accountable or give me advice. An employee has no protection really and the UK operation is a shoddy outfit if I'm being honest. Do not work here!
